Can Vivot is a historic noble palace in the heart of Palma, still lived in by the owning family and open to visitors for guided tours.

A Palace That Still Lives

Can Vivot is not a museum in the conventional sense: original furniture, paintings, frescoes and books remain exactly where they have stood and hung for centuries. The rooms feel as though the occupants have only just stepped out — because, in parts of the house, that is quite literally true. The family continues to live in the palace and welcomes visitors personally. This blend of everyday life and centuries of history shapes the experience in a way that no purpose-dressed exhibition house can replicate.

History in Stone and Stucco

The palace brings together architectural elements spanning the 13th to the 19th century. Running through the building is a preserved section of a medieval alleyway. Particularly striking are the baroque courtyard, the grand marble staircase and the library — rooms that consistently stand out as highlights of any visit. Original frescoes, paintings and historic furnishings all remain in situ.

Tours Led by the Owning Family

Guided tours are led by the owners themselves, both trained historians. Their insights go far beyond anything an audio guide can offer, combining genuine passion for the house with deep expertise. Alongside guided visits, an audio guide is available for self-directed exploration. Group events and private functions also take place within the palace's rooms. Advance booking — by e-mail or through the online ticketing system with a timed slot — is required.

Right in the Heart of the Old Town

Can Vivot is located at Carrer de Can Savellà 4 in the Centre district of Palma, nestled within the historic street network of the old town.
